Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shiitake mushroom cleaning, and in particular to a shiitake mushroom cleaning device that facilitates drainage. Background Technology
[0002] The life cycle of shiitake mushrooms involves the germination of spores into mycelium, which then grows, develops, and differentiates into fruiting bodies. These fruiting bodies then produce countless spores. Under natural conditions, this life cycle takes approximately 8-12 months, or even longer. However, with artificial cultivation using sawdust, this life cycle is shortened by 3-4 months, significantly reducing the production cycle. During processing, shiitake mushrooms are typically cleaned using washing equipment. Currently, shiitake mushrooms are simply soaked in a water tank and tumbled around. Rinsing the water creates foam, which then washes the mushrooms, removing surface dirt. However, this method uses stagnant water, and after prolonged use or when a large quantity of mushrooms is added at once, the resulting dirt can contaminate the water, preventing the mushrooms from being thoroughly cleaned and requiring a second, manual cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0026] This embodiment provides a mushroom cleaning device for easy drainage, including a cleaning tank 1, a drive mechanism 3, a drain plate 2, a four-impeller 4, and a triggering mechanism 5. A frame 6 is mounted on the upper part of the cleaning tank. A water inlet pipe 7 and nozzles 8 are installed inside the frame 6. The nozzles 8 are evenly spaced on the outer periphery of the water inlet pipe 7 and communicate with it. The drive mechanism 3 is located on one side of the cleaning tank 1 and includes a drive shaft 303 and a drive motor 301. The drive shaft 303 is evenly spaced within the cleaning tank 1. The drive motor 301 drives the drive shaft 303 via the conveyor belt 302 and rotates within the cleaning tank 1. The drain plate 2 is disposed on the upper part of the drive shaft 303 and has drain holes 201. The four impellers 4 are equidistantly disposed on the drive shaft 303 and extend from the drain holes 201, wherein the four impellers 4 between two adjacent drive shafts 303 are staggered. The triggering mechanism 5 is disposed between the frame 6 and the drain plate 2 and is located on one side of the frame 6.
[0027] It should be further explained that one end of the drive shaft 303 is driven by connecting two of the drive shafts 304. It should be noted that the connection method is not limited to the drive belt 304, but can also be the meshing of a synchronous toothed belt and a toothed pulley.
[0028] It should be further explained that the nozzle 8 is tilted, and the tilting direction of the nozzle 8 is towards the direction of the drive motor 301 or the triggering mechanism 5. During use, the four-impeller 4 rotates in the direction of the nozzle 8, thereby conveying or removing mud from the shiitake mushrooms.
[0029] It should be further explained that the triggering mechanism 5 includes a roller 501, a sliding rod 502, a contact piece 503, a fixing rod 504, and a fixing frame 506. The roller 501 is disposed at one end of the sliding rod 502 and abuts against the four-leaf wheel 4. The fixing rod 504 is provided with a through first sliding groove 508 and second sliding grooves 505 symmetrically disposed on both sides of the first sliding groove 508. A spring 507 is disposed in the first sliding groove 508. One end of the sliding rod 502 is disposed in the first sliding groove 508, and the sliding rod 502 abuts against the spring 507 and moves radially back and forth along the first sliding groove 508. Further details are provided on both sides of the fixing rod 504. A contact piece 503 is provided, which is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 504. One end of the fixing rod 504 is connected to the fixing frame 506, which is fixedly connected to the frame body 6. In use, the sliding rod 502 moves along the first sliding groove 508 and the second sliding groove 505 by the rotation of the four-leaf wheel 4. During the movement, the sliding rod 502 continuously touches the contact piece 503. The contact piece 503 transmits the contact signal to the PLC for processing, thereby controlling the solenoid valve at the nozzle 8 connection to work, realizing indirect spraying to wash the surface of the mushrooms and save water. The control method of this part is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] It should be further explained that an inclined drainage plate 9 is provided below the leakage plate 2, which facilitates the discharge of generated sludge.
[0031] Working principle of this utility model:
[0032] In use, a strainer plate 2 is installed in the cleaning tank 1, with drainage holes 201 on the strainer plate 2 to sift away mud that prevents the mushrooms above from falling. A frame 6 is installed above the strainer plate 2, and a spray nozzle 8 and a water inlet pipe 7 are installed on the frame 6 to supply water to the spray nozzle 8. A triggering mechanism 5 is also installed on the frame 6 to control the spraying of the spray nozzle 8. During use, the rotation of the four-impeller 4 moves the mushrooms above, and the rotation of the four-impeller 4... The rotation of the nozzle can shake off the mud on the surface of the mushrooms. During the shaking process, the four-leaf wheel 4 contacts the roller 501, so that the contact piece 503 makes contact through the extension and retraction of the sliding rod 502. The contact switch controls the nozzle 8 to spray water. By adjusting the water pressure of the nozzle 8, different treatments can be achieved on the surface of the mushrooms. When spraying, the dust generated by the vibration is removed. When the nozzle 8 sprays water, it can rinse the mushrooms. The mud produced by the mushrooms falls off through the drain hole 201 and is then rinsed by the nozzle 8, avoiding the need for manual cleaning of the mushrooms again.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
